You are right, the package entered unstable only a few days before the
freeze, after waiting for sponsorship for almost half a year.  The
package entered NEW about a week or ten days before the freeze and
miraculously made it into unstable in time for the freeze.  The RC bug
was not the doing of ffgtk but things broke through an upload of the
isdnutils package.  The ffgtk package was uploaded RC-bugs free and only
broke through no fault of its own by the introduction of a new
libcapi20-dev version on June 30.  That being grounds for an exclusion
from Wheezy wouldn't seem just.  I kindly ask you to reconsider.

Regards

Rolf
